Writing Beyond the Edges

"Writing Beyond the Edges" is an academic book that examines and analyzes the crossing and blurring of genre boundaries, particularly in the context of the emancipation of female protagonists in Angela Carter's last two novels, "Nights at the Circus" and "Wise Children." The book sheds light on the type of oppression experienced by the narrators and protagonists Fevvers and Dora Chance, as well as other female characters in both novels. This oppression is directly related to the ideological and formal constraints traditionally imposed on genres by patriarchal structures. Fabio Jarbeson da Silva Trajano aims to illuminate the norms and regulations that Angela Carter questions and undermines in her works, in order to open up new alternatives and different future possibilities for all genders. The book makes a significant contribution to the connection between genre, gender, and social change, and promotes research on the political power underlying the postmodern female reimagining and the blurring of genres.
